The goal of the research is...
Scientists have revealed an unprecedented atlas of a primate brain that maps the organ in greater resolution than ever before, on the scale of single cells. The U.S.-based team used the latest molecular biological techniques to map the brain architecture of an adult rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), a monkey commonly...
